Slicer3:Module Building

In order to create a Slicer3 interactice GUI module that can be discovered at run-time, the following two files need to be created or modified.

ExampleModule.txt

Create this file alongside vtkExampleModuleGUI and vtkExampleModuleLogic. It's contents are key:value pairs describing the module. It's also used to configure build-time module selection. For loadable module support the following entries are used:

Name: Example
GUIName: ExMod
Dependency: Other
Dependency: Another

Only the "Name:" entry is required.

CMakeLists.txt

In order to create the necessary source files to enable an module to be discovered at run-time, use the GENERATELM macro in the module's CMakeLists.txt file:

GENERATELM(ExampleModule_SRCS ExampleModule.txt)

This macro must be included after any TCL wrapping macros, as it adds to the source files for the library.
